Charley,while Patihum may be along shortly to answer your question, you can also go to Tatiana's Tomatobase and pull up a list of tomatoes by origin. Here's the link for Russian varieties - http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/C...ssian_Tomatoes

I've only tried two so far, so I won't be much help. Pink Honey was extremely productive, but sweet. I prefer a bit more acid and richness so I did not grow it again.

And while it's listed as a Ukranian variety, Tarasenko 6 was more to my liking. The plant was not highly productive in my garden, but the flavor more than made up for it. I will grow it again.

The above pretty well nails it.^^

The only pink from my list that is Russian and readily available is Mazarini. It's a heart with very good flavor.

If my hubby would let me, I'd do one of those floating gardens. I still can't figure out a decent sunny spot without some major tree clearing. I may be able to steal some of my small pasture. I hate to do that as I really don't have enough for even my one pony, much less when my two pregnant mares get here this summer.
I'll post a pic of my seed list in a few. We just got our power back on from the ice storm. I hope my seeds didn't freeze. The house got pretty darn cold for awhile.

Gardeneer · February 20, 2015

Had a problem with black end rot on Olpalkas that seemed to spread to Zapotecs late
in season, so they won't make the cut this year... I liked both varieties, but too much wasted fruit. I may grow Big Mamas for a big paste tomato (since a fellow Gardner did
well with them in this area last year). Mexico did very well last year.

My List:
Goldman's Italian American (OG)
Old German
Big Zac Hybrid
Costoluto Genovese
Pink Berkeley Tie Dye
Fireworks
Church
Red Rose
San Marzano
Sun Gold Hybrid

And whatever strange varieties that catches my eye at the local greenhouse.

Here's to a great growing year!

BER doesn't spead to other varieties, it's an issue with specific varieties sometimes, depending on all the variables that can induce it in a specific season.

And Opalka is one of the paste varieties that seldom has BER along with Mama Leone, Martino's Roma, Heidi and a few more.

Most of my tomato friends have switched from using paste varieties for sauce to heart varieties and those beefsteak varieties that have few seeds and just cooking it a bit more to the desired consistency. And doing that b/c most paste varieties are not known for great taste and are more susceptible to Early Blight and BER,

Hope that helps,

Carolyn
